If you already own any of the backwards compatible games added this today, then they should now show up automatically in your Xbox One game library.

However, if you don't own them or indeed any of the games previously announced as backwards compatible then there's still hope for you.

All you have to do is head over to the Xbox 360 backwards compatibility store on the Xbox store, making it easier than ever to search for and download these classic titles directly on your Xbox One.

So if you're interested in trying out a Xbox 360 classic but don't already own a copy of the game, you can still give it a go like everyone else.

Looking towards the future, Mike Ybarra the Director of Program Management said towards the end of 2016 that this year's new Microsoft console, Project Scorpio, would look to include Backwards compatibility.

And writing on Twitter this week Phil Spencer also provided more details on how the backwards compatibility service would work on Project Scorpio, which has been dubbed Microsoft's most powerful console ever created.

Hopefully, as we edge closer to the release, which many believe will be at the end of the year, we'll learn more about how these services might work.
